Speaker 1: single night. So the final home start for Clayton Kershaw,

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: and really the best thing we can say is we

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: don't know when he's going to pitch again. He's scheduled

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: to pitch in Seattle next week. But who knows is

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: he gonna start in the playoffs. Who knows is he

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna relieve in the playoffs. Maybe, But where we sit

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: right now, Kershaw has been in trouble in every inning

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, and the Giants lead it right now

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: two to one, so he's been able to limit the

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: damage two to one. Middle of thirty eight Dodgers coming

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: up again. This the final at least regular season start

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 1: in the career of Clayton Kershaw. It is Joe Davis

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Bobblehead Night at the stadium tonight, and it will be

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw Bobblehead Day tomorrow. They couldn't flip them. They

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: couldn't say, hey, take the Kershaw once. I mean, really,

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: just we're gonna give you this instead, we'll give Joe

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: Davis tomorrow. I think you do that.

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: Could you have given them just a coupon for a

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: future Clayton Kershaw bobblehead so kind.

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Of like I'm glad you pay you tuesday for a

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: Hamburger today.

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, just if you want to go down

41
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: that road, because I mean, look, you can't give the

42
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: people the ones from tomorrow like, you just can't do it.

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: Now you're chaos. Nah, you can't.

44
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: What if you had a bunch of people that came

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: because it was Joe Davis bobblehead Day, Now they're pissed

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: you really?

47
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: Okay? Outside of Joe Davis to play by play guy

48
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, outside of Joe Davis's family, who we

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: could probably get bobbleheads for if he really wanted to.

50
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: Who was coming to that game for a Joe Davis bubblehead.

51
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I don't want the Kershaw. No, I

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: don't want that. No, No, I want the Joe Davis one.

Speaker 1: Joe Davis bobblehead.

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I bought part of my ticket package

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: or maybe for this individual date. I cleared my schedule

57
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 3: and I was like, it's Joe Davis bobblehead. I like

58
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: listening to Joe Davis call a game.

59
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: I have all forty bobbleheads. I want the forty eighth

60
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: and final one I got. I got all of them.

61
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: Now come back on Saturday. It'll be there for you.

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: Or you do a thing where it's like, all right,

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: here's a coupon for a special Clayton Kershak commemorative item,

64
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: and then you have a giveaway and a parking lot

65
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 3: after the season's over.

66
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. Hey, it fell off a truck. Yeah,

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: it fell off a truck.

68
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, whoa?

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: How dare you? You follow this truck to the end

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: of the road. Then I get out the back and

71
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: maybe I hand you something and you hand me something

72
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: and you walk away, and that's how it works.

73
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: Hey, we have had promotional items go missing in the past.

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: There's no question about there. Well, man, maybe you really

75
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: give away forty Maybe maybe once you'll bring us in

76
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: all these different bobbleheads. Next week, she would.

77
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: Suddenly there's a giant palette that she comes walking in with.

78
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: You know which one you need? Everybody, Here you go,

79
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Here you go, Here you go. I still got all

80
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: those leftover kik hernandez ones, right, we got a ton

81
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: of those leftover. No, No, he's a popular guy. He

82
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: did very well.

83
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just secondary market value, at least in the

84
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: city of Los Angeles, holds up quite well to Clayton Kershaw's, okay,

85
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: because there's going to be fewer of those than the

86
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: Clinton Kershaw bobble hits. I don't think they've had like

87
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: forty seven Key k Hernandez bobblehead dates.

88
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: To tell me, to tell do me a favor, to

89
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: be a favorite, because you always talk about monetizing it.

90
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Tell me what the difference is on eBay. If I

91
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: want to buy a Key k Hernandez bobblehead tall then

92
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: if I want to buy a Clayton Kershaw bobblehead doll,

93
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: tell me what the difference is on that one.

94
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: But that's again the difference between I don't think there's

95
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: just a lot of general issue. Hey, these guys have

96
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: a license for you know, making a bobblehead, foco or

97
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 3: whatever the company may be, to where you you have,

98
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 3: you know, just hey, here's your major League goll stars

100
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 3: most of what you're getting are the stadium giveaways. So

101
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: there's a limited note from them. Let's see sixty five

102
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 3: bucks for Key k Hernandez for the one that was

103
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: given away just what a week or two ago, and

104

Speaker 3: be many, because here's one, right now there's fifty bucks.

106
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: There's the three thousand strikeout one. There's a picture of

107
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: some guys trying to get like two hundred and fifty dollars. Yeah,

108
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: it's just crazy. There's another SGA new in box, forty

Speaker 3: five dollars of those.

110
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: I don't want an I don't want an SGA one.

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: We're talking, I mean, I'll get no one. But I

112
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: mean that's the company.

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: SGA is actually the company not I know, its Justes Alexander.

114
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: All the points you just made, we had. We had

115
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: to dump you when you said foco because I don't

116
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: know that you could say that. So all those points

117
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: you made, no one hurt it.

118
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's where I got my cool chef's hat

119
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: that we're gonna do bits with.

120
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got my chef's thatt up. Yeah.

121
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: I mean, here's a twenty seventeen Clayton Kershaw bobblehead where

122
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: he's hitting, and it was from twenty seventeen.

123
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: It's thirty dollars. Yeah, but he's hitting. I mean, come on,

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: he's head. There's another one it's forty. I mean, there's

125
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot of Clayton kershop on the market is flooded

126
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: with Kershaw babble it so again to to one Kershaw

127
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: on the short end of this one. So far but

128
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: still bottle of the third ning Dodgers Giants. This game

129
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: huge playoff ramifications for the Giants trying to stay in

130
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: striking distance of that final wildcard. So as we get said,

131
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: it is football Friday. Looking ahead, we'll preview to a

132
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: couple of the biggest college football games coming up later

133
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: on this hour and then next hour. Pete feu Tac

134
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: stops by two teams right now going into big games

135
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: this weekend on Sunday that I'm out on. Okay, I'm

136
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: just out on and the first team I'm out on.

137
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm out on the Steelers. I'm out the Steelers. You know,

138
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: for all this talk, oh the Steelers, the Steelers might

139
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: be awful. Okay, just think about sure, the Steelers might

140
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: be awful. They're just escaping over the Jets last week

141
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: after watching what the Bills did to the Jets on

142
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: Sunday when they ran five plays offensively and stayed in

143
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 1: a base defense for all four quarters. Because the Jets

144
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: are just inept like suddenly, the Steelers escaping in that

145
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: game because I got a sixty yard field goal on

146
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: the road, like that might be Aaron Rodgers big highlight

147
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: with the Steelers. That might be the best thing. Hey,

148
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: at least I got revenge over the Jets before he realized,

149
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: oh man, we're really really bad, Like they really might

150
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: not be good. They might be terrible this year. I'm

151
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: out on them. They got worked by Justin Fields, who

152
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: completed two passes and had one hundred yards of offense

153
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: last week before he got hurt. Sam Darnold worked them.

154
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: I really the Steelers, they just don't strike me as hey,

155
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to be dynamic and do what

156
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: we need to do. And honestly, the Steelers should have

157
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: lost the Jets if they could catch a pick six

158
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: when Rogers going back to pass trying to throw it

159
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: into the flat, and you had Brandon Stevens dropping a

160
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: shore pick six, which is you can't have that happen.

161
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: Like they should have lost that game too. This should

162
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: be an zero to two Steelers team. They might stink.

163
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm out on the Steelers. They're gonna go into this

164
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: game in New England and you think, okay, well, the

165
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Pages they have some problems here. No Patriots won last

166
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: week in Miami in a thousand degree heat. They get

167
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: the win over the Steelers. This week they dropped to

168
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: one and two. I'm not in on Jalen Warren. I'm

169
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: not in on the offense. The Steelers may be really

170
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: bad this season. They might stink. And just because of

171
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: the difference between Week one with the Jets and week

172
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: two what you saw with common opponents, Man, I mean,

173
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to see the Steelers are gonna

174
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: be really good.

175
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's difficult in that you don't really see

176
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: anything in terms of creating balance because the run game's

177
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: futrid to this point, Warren and gain Well with two

178
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: carries from Caleb Johnson, who probably doesn't see the field

179
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: this week, they're averaging three yards to carry at this point.

180
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: It's a dismal effort that way. The defense for all

181
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: of the high priced talking and you know, the hold

182
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: in and all that other nonsense. Ah, here's some extra

183
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: millions for you. They look like they got old overnight.

184
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: So already had anticipated this was gonna be a rough

185
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: ride to get to a nine and eight season to

186
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: keep that streak alive for Mike Tomlin. But it looks

187
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: even worse, right as we look at the way this

188
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: squad shakes out, DK metcalf a lot of his work

189
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: is done with the deep ball.

190
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: Can Aaron Rodgers deliver anymore? Tight ends are? Okay?

191
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: I mean John news Smith and Pat Fryermouth are gonna

192
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: have to become your your biggest receiving options out of

193
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: this your current leader in terms of yardage the aforementioned

194
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: Jalen Warren hot route, and see what you can do.

195
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: That's not winning football as much as if you can

196
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: keep it close. Yeah, you got a guy that's got

197
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: super toe. But eventually the winds start swirling and things

198
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: start happening in those stadiums that we're talking about in

199
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: the AFC North, so that margin for error just isn't there.

200
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: But it'll be a fun fun watch. I mean to

201
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: see people melt down over time.

202
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: And and if.

203
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers struggles, whether you call for you know, replacements, Yeah, I.

204
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: Mean, look, what did I tell you? Aaron Rodgers has

205
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: to understand the possibility is real that in December he's

206
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: watching Will Howard quarterback this team right like that that

207
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: because because here's the thing, Rogers will be okay enough

208
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: for a while, but he'll run out of steam and

209
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: then it's gonna be, oh, man, I don't know what

210
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: we have left. It'll be kind of the reversal last year.

211
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: Or it took him a while to have that one

212
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: last run the last half of the season when he

213
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: looked like a halfway decent quarterback. But now at this point,

214
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, really, he'll He'll have some games where he

215
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: looks okay. The Jets made him look like a star.

216
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: It was more in line with what he was last

217
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: week against the team's defenses. Okay, And that's just gonna

218
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: be the way it is, Like, he'll look okay sometimes,

219
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: but as a season goes on, it's gonna be Man,

220
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: this is it for Rogers. He's done after this season,

221
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: and in December, we may want to get a look

222
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: at Will Howard right like that. That's the big question

223
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: is does Mike Tomlin say, no, we can't let we

224
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: can't let Aaron Rodgers end his career on the bench.

225
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be that coach if we're not going

226
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, I'm gonna go out with him. Or

227
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: does he say, hey, let's see what the kid has,

228
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: because who knows if he winds up having a place

229
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: for this next season, like that's gonna wind up being

230
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: the big thing for the Steelers.

231
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what's he gonna worry about him coming

232
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: back and having a revenge game because he hates you.

233
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: Who's gonna pick him up? Go get it?

234
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: Howard currently on ir with that broken finger, But he'll

235
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: be back. He'll be back strength to schedule, Pittsburgh tied

236
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 3: for the ninth hardest schedule remaining them and the Panthers.

237
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: The other team I'm out on right now. And it's

238
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: weird because I had such great because I had ha

239
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: ha hopes for I had such high hopes for them

240
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: coming into this season, but now they're gonna fall to

241
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: zero to three. I'm out on the Texans. I'm out

242
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: on them right now. You're finally listening to me. Two

243
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: tough games to start the season. I'm not. You know.

244
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: I can't sit here and say, oh my goodness, they

245
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: lost to the Jets and the Raiders, two tough games

246
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: to start the season. I get that. But this offense

247
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: has mega problems Mega. They're not nearly the team they

248
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: used to be. They don't have anybody that really scares

249
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: you wide receiver wise, outside of Nico Collins. And he's

250
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: not someone that's gonna suddenly demand all the attention and

251
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: still dominate. He's not justin Jefferson. They have a lot

252
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: of question marks. How long Nick Chubb has run the football. Okay,

253
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: so far he had one touchdown run, He's had one

254
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: highlight run and that's been it. This is an offense.

255
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: This is not the same team they were when they

256
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: were on the cusp of being a great breakthrough team

257
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. And the other thing is

258
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have really figured out their identity. Right. They

259
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: make the big they trade Tank Bigsby, which was wait

260
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: a minute, well how do you trade this guy? We

261
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: don't you know? He could be your number one running back?

262
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: Uh Ah? Between Ettn and Tooton, they know what they're

263
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: doing and they can run the football really, really well. Right.

264
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: The fact that you make that trade so soon after

265
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: the season begins tells you we know what we want

266
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: our running back room to be. We know we can

267
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: run the football, and the Jaguars do it terrifically. Yes, offensively,

268
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: throwing the football. It's still a working but Trevor Lawrence

269
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: has been a work in progress for five years now.

270
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: This is kind of who he is. Oh, we can't

271
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: get the ball to Travis Hunter as much got to

272
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: get the ball to Brian Thomas Moore. Yes, yes, Parker

273
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: Washington is suddenly seventy five yards. I get it. But

274
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: they have now changed their identity a bit too. This

275
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: is a sledgehammer team. They run the football great, their

276
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: offensive line is really good. They made moves there in

277
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: the offseason to make it better. This is their identity,

278
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: what they want to be. They run all over the

279
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: Texans and they send them to a shocking zero to

280
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: three start.

281
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: Oh look at that. Now you turned on their defense.

282
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: I'm all you even gave me a little coach beard excited.

283
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: Well noise down there. Yeah, making the deal to get

284
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: rid of Bigsby Howie Roseman getting ahead of the market

285
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: in the running back slot.

286
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: I dig that.

287
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: But the fact that you trusted that toot and he's

288
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 3: at four point eight yards per carrying limited work and

289
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 3: etn who's been most of the time.

290
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: I think he would go into that disappointment category, would

291
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: he not?

292
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: In terms of what he's been to this point, even

293
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: with a couple of thousand yard seasons in his back pocket,

294
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: never truly the breakthrough but taking advantage of the schedule.

295
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: And this is where I turn it back, at least

296
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: for a moment with the Jaguars. So the Panthers in

297
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: the Bengals, and you know, lost to the Bengals, lost

298
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: to Jack Browning. So you got that with Let's go

299
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 3: back to the Texans for a second. Love the defensive front,

300
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: Love the secondary. We talked about, all right, can you

301
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: cover pass catchers over the middle of the linebackers? There

302
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: a little bit of struggle there, a little longer in

303
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: the tooth as we watch that happen. So we've got

304
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: that concern. Eventually you'll get Joe Mixon back a couple

305
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: more weeks for him, the offensive line will continue to

306
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: be a problem. And now you're still waiting whether it's

307
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: Higgins or someone else gonna take a step forward alongside

308
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: Niko Collins in that wide receiving corps, Dalton Schultz right

309
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: now your second most available back wide receiver for you.

310
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: Thinking about the running backs, though, Nick Chubb that touchdown

311
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: was much debated late in that game.

312
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: It's like, did they let him score? Yeah? Yeah, it

313
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: looked really yeah yeah, they say they let him score, right,

314
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: they say, ah, yeah, yeah, Okay.

315
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: Because otherwise he'd basically been falling forward. He's about six

316
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: feet tall. Yeah, maybe one little bounce, so six feet plus.

317
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: Maybe add the seventh So there you go two point

318
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: something yards per carry, So maybe we get a little

319
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: bit back in balance for there. For Houston, they get

320
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: no favors though they have the third hardest schedule remaining.

321
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: And I know we're only going into week three, but

322
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: you look at what's their easiest opponent. You've got two

323
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: against the Titans. The other team that's listed as easy

324
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: opponent as the Chiefs.

325
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: To tell you where their schedule is for the rest

326
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: of the season, they're only two. Oh yeah, but the

327
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs said, Nah, doesn't matter. That doesn't matter. It's the Chiefs.

328
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: It's the Chiefs. Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen

00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: Right now, Mike, didn't you tell me tonight? Hey, Iowa

370
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: Rutgers take the under? Both these defenses are phenomenal. You

371
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: tell me you said take the under? Well, I thought

372
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a field goal game, absolutely big Well, yeah, Iowa,

373
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: you figure that. But Iowa has thirty eight points. They

374
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: have more points tonight than they have in the last

375
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: two and a half seasons. Combine that sounds about right.

376
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Thirty eight to twenty eight day lead Rutgers right now,

377
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: game on Big Fox. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw what could be

378
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: the final start of his MLB career. He scheduled to

379
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: start next week in Seattle, but who knows, Maybe he

380
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: starts in the playoffs, maybe he doesn't. But his final night,

381
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: at least at Dodger Stadium, he trails the Giants. Right now,

382
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: Dodgers trail two to one. Dodgers batting in the bottom

383
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: of the fourth inning, Kershaw already up to eight six pitches,

384
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: So likely because look, he's good, Mike. He's gonna pitch

385
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: again right somewhere in the playoffs. Is he gonna start,

386
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: We don't know, but you know he's gonna pitch. Maybe

387
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: one more inning for Clayton Kershaw coming out to get

388
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: through five against the Giants and that'll be it. But again,

389
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: still trailing the Giants right now, two to one is

390
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: a Dodger's bat in the bottom of the fourth inning.

391
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: Looks really humid there at Dodger Stadium. A lot of

392
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 3: sweat pouring from the brows of these hurlers as they're

393
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 3: out there. Look he's battled through, I mean, only giving

394
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: up two runs thus far, and the leadoff home run

395
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 3: that we talked about right off the jump to Ramos.

396
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 3: So the fact that he's battled to this point a

397
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 3: tip of the cap, but looking for a little bit

398
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: of run support. Get those rally caps out, find a

399
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 3: rally monkey or an animal if you're choosing well.

400
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: And you know also too, Kershaw's very very emotional tonight

401
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: as well, so you know he's gonna get that adrenaline

402
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: burst early. That's gonna hit you of course later. So

403
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 1: you wonder now at eighty six pitches and you know

404
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: end with that, you know, the the end of that

405
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: adrenaline rush. I really I feel next inning, next inning

406
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: could be the last time you see Clayton Kershaw ever

407
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: pitch at Dodger Stadium, Like maybe it's the last time

408
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: he pitches until the he comes into relief in the playoffs, mates,

409
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: the last time he comes off the mount as a starter,

410
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: Like all these lasts are out there for him. Man,

411
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: that could absolutely happen.

412
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Freddie Freeman just struck out. And this side view

413
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: camera they had of this crew right behind the maybe

414
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: the third row there. Their reaction was like it was

415
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 3: a game ender. I don't know if they had had

416
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: a wager on dude.

417
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: To come up with a big hit. Everybody else like,

418
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: oh that's too bad, he's got exit out about a

419
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: fresca exit swalling down the Jason Smiths with Mike Carments again,

420
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: we'll lot more baseball on the way tonight again, this

421
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: game meaning everything for the Giants is they're chase for

422
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: the final playoff spot in the National League. They absolutely

423
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: need to win here tonight. Look these teams, Let I

424
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: gotta say this, these teams chasing the Mets. Now, if

425
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: the Mets go, the Mets have eight games left. If

426
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: they go four and four, everybody else has to go

427
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: eight and two. You know, these last these last ten games,

428
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: less nine to ten games to make the playoffs, which

429
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: tells you just where you're at. So every game, you know,

430
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Diamondbacks, they lose like every game could

431
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: be one of those. Hey, that's a fork in our

432
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: season because not only do we have to go eight

433
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: and two most likely, but we have to overcome three teams, right,

434
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: So it's hard to leap frog all of that. So

435
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: that's why these games tonight, tonight tomorrow, especially Giants and

436
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: the d Backs, are such huge games in Major League Baseball.

437
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: Fortunately, you'll be able to watch all those games on

438
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 3: services other than one proprietary spot.

439
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: Oh come on, man, listen, apple Ty, we have more

440
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: tog No.

441
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: I was just saying, people have wide availability for the

442
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: final stretch run, what with all the greatness that you

443
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 3: just talked about in every game meaning something. But I

444
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 3: wasn't trying to be sarcastic and shows that's.

445
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: Not unbranded at all. No, that's not you at all. No, no, no,

446
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: you are absolutely non snarky and not not positivity. I know, yes, yes,

447
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: always the children, what about the children? All the children? Now,

448
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: three big games in the NFL this week, Like, look,

449
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: a lot of big games, a lot of stuff to

450
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: get you. You are upset. Special picks coming up in

451
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: a bit. But we talked about two of the most

452
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: high profile games last hour. The third one Rams and

453
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Right here you are this big rematch where

454
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: the Rams clearly were the team that came the closest

455
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: to beating the Eagles in the playoffs last year, and

456
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: here they are now. And I'll tell you what, I'll

457
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: take the Rams in this one because the Eagles so

458
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: far they haven't looked great. And it's not anything that

459
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles are suddenly bad. This is the

460
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: Eagles have to find their way after you win the

461
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, right that this is, this is what happens,

462
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: not that they're bored, but you come off of that,

463
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: you have to find your They've done enough to win,

464
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, look that Dallas gave him a little bit

465
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: of a scare, and look at that game. Would have

466
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: been different if Jalen Carter doesn't spit at Dak Prescott.

467
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: But this is how it went. And they're doing enough.

468
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: They beat the Chiefs. They do enough to beat the Chiefs.

469
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: They've had a couple of nice wins. The Rams are

470
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: finding ways. And I don't care how the Rams win

471
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: early in the season. They just have to win because

472
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of years has been the same thing. Boy,

473
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: they look terrible the first half of the season. Maybe

474
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: they fall out of it and they're gonna start over

475
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: next year and then staff it in the offense catch fire,

476
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the Rams are the best

477
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: team in the NFC the back half of the year.

478
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: The fact they are stacking wins, now, that's all they

479
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: need to do. Find ways, stack wins. Right, because you

480
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: want to play those playoff games at home. Right left.

481
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure Sean McVay goes to bed every night going, man,

482
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: we had to play that game in Philadelphia, the end

483
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: of the year. Last year we had that last drive.

484
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: It was too tough. We want to play at home.

485
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: Every win they can stack at the beginning of the

486
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: season is awesome for them. I have them in the

487
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game again. It's a big revenge game for them.

488
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: I'll take the Rams, I'll take the under and a

489
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: late defensive stand for them to win because the Rams

490
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: defense is one of the top three units in the NFL. Yes,

491
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos get a lot of attention. We talked about

492
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: how good the Texans and front defensive line defensive backs are,

493
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: but this Rams defense is absolutely legit. It's one of

494
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: the NFL's best. They've been great so far. They continue

495
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: on here with the Eagles offense that's still trying to

496
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: get out of its own way. And I'll give you

497
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: this Bowl prediction, Mike Harmon, less than sixty yards rushing

498
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: for Saquon Barkley twenty five has already been harder sledding.

499
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: And when you come off of six hundred and seventy

500
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: five touches last year, like Barkley did, you're gonna get

501
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: a bit of a downtick. It's always the case for

502
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: any running back coming off a heavy usage year like

503
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: that of four hundred touches when you count the playoffs in,

504
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be harder sledding. It's been tough sledding so

505
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: far for Barkley. That's going to continue. The Rams continue

506
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: that tough sledding for Barkley under sixty yards or him,

507
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: the RAMS and the under and the RAMS suddenly look

508
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: like we're talking. Wait a minute, maybe we get a

509
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: RAMS charge of Super Bowl coming up this winter. Oh maybe. Well, see,

510
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: this is.

511
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: Where it gets really fun, right, is that we go

512
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: back to Week one, the Houston Texans, a lot of

513
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: expectations and hey, they're gonna go.

514
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: And win the division.

515
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 3: Well maybe they're not great, but we expected a slug

516
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 3: fest and that one and that's exactly what we got.

517
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: What fourteen to nine your final? Okay? Fine, Then they

518
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: go to Tennessee.

519
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: No grade shakes, but it takes a while before they

520
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 3: shake free and eventually win. Going away, this one did

521
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 3: the big tests for this defense to get after it.

522
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 3: What I've been trying to find is a prop bet

523
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: as to whether a penalty will get called on a

524
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: toush push. I have not whether it be over under

525
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 3: is out of half, Like, what kind of odds I

526
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 3: could get? So calls and texts out to all of

527
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: our luminaries Eagles with three and a half point favorites

528
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: at home forty four and a half the toe on

529
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 3: this one. I agree with you. I think points will

530
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: be at a premium. The big question for me is

531
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: for the Eagles trying to re establish an identity. Right

532
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 3: We talked about it a lot yesterday related to the

533
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills spreading the ball around right, Allen completing passes

534
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: to nine different guys, and we talked about it a

535
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: little bit earlier in the week. Jalen hurts, right now,

536
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: you've had eight tush push attempts and three passes that

537
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: have had more than ten air yards to them. That's

538
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: not long term success man, that viability, particularly if the

539
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 3: tush push becomes a little bit more of less of

540
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 3: a certainty right where it's been at that ninety seven

541
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: percent success rate, Where all of a sudden we start

542
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 3: to see that dip because of a penalty, because of

543
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 3: alignment issues and they're not firing the same way.

544
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: It'll be curious to see.

545
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 3: Not that hurts a skipping leg day along the way,

546
00:26:54,720 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 3: but toughslog for Barkley has certainly shorted some of his

547
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 3: fantasy projections for the year, not only for hurt stealing

548
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: touchdown totals, but just that they'd back him off because again,

549
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 3: you need him at his best come January, because you

550
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 3: know you're gonna make the dance Rams on the road.

551
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 3: I think the Eagles win it, but give me the

552
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: Rams plus the hook. Yeah, three and a half's plays here.

553
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: If it was two and a half, would you take

554
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles? No? Okay, all right, all right, you're more

555
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: in the No. Actually, if it was two and a half,

556
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: I would yeah, okay, okay, okay, yeah, oh okay. I

557
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: thought you were more in on the Rams and you

558
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 1: said you are there. Okay, No, no, No, I am in

559
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 1: on the Rams. I certainly am. There's no question about it.

560
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: And certainly there's been a lot of chatter you and

561
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 3: I over these the discord of this offseason. And Matthew Stafford,

562
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: I mean, he's gonna be in bold and coming out

563
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: of his appearance at this Clayton Kershaw Farewell game, well.

564
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: He has to come up big. He went to high

565
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: school with Clayton Kershaw. He's got to come up If

566
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: this is Kershaw his last start as a Dodger, I mean,

567
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: come on, he's got to come up big on Sunday.

568
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, I mean, come on, Wow.

569
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: Like I saw him, he was disheveled and you know

570
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 3: the gray Beard and everything's like, look, how old you've become.

571
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: I need you to re energize, steal the energy. Kershaw

572
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: doesn't need it anymore. He's leaving the game. Go take

573
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: it from him.

574
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit swalling down the Jason

575
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon Time not

Speaker 1: How to find out what's trending right now in the

577
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: wide world of sports from the possible Last Clayton Kershaw

578
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: Night at Dodger Stadium on the Hill on the top

579
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: of the fifth inning, special delivery Steve the Saga has

580
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: the latest right now with what's trending.

581
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 5: Huge ovation for Kershaw, just coming off the mound in

582
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 5: LA with the Dodgers down two to one to San

583
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 5: Francisco in the top of the fifth Kershaw right now

584
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 5: in the dugout individually, greeting all his teammates and coaches.

585
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: Kershaw went four and a third two runs allowed, including

586
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 5: the leadoff homer tonight, six strikeouts, four walks. They left

587
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 5: him in to face the lefty Rafael Devers to lead

588
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 5: off the fifth. He got a strikeout and then the

589
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 5: large ovation coming off the mound ending it. This could

590
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 5: be his last start ever in LA. He will retire shortly.

591
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 5: Kershaw and the Dodgers down two to one in the fifth.

592
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 5: The Padres have already lost LA. First place in the

593
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 5: NLS started the day three games over. The Padres. San

594
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 5: Diego was beaten four to three at Chicago by the

595
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 5: White Sox, who had lost six in a row. And

596
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 5: as we speak, Kershaw coming back out of the dugout

597
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 5: for the curtain call, as everyone is standing at Dodger

598
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 5: Stadium and cheering this soon to be Hall of Famer.

599
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: I really thought you were gonna say, Kershaw coming back

600
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: out of the dugout. He's told Dave Roberts, like Blake Snell,

601
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm staying in the game, and he's going back out

602
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: to the mound and Henriquez will have to go back

603
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: and make that trudge all the way back to the bullpit.

604
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 5: No, although I didn't hear it, I'm sure Blake Snell's

605
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 5: comment this week was oh so Kevin Cash is not

606
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 5: my manager. I actually got to stay on the mount

607
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 5: in a Dodger game. We do have two other contests

608
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: going on. The Marlins in the top of the twelfth

609
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 5: now lead at Texas six to three, and the Phillies

610
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 5: have taken a three to two lead at Arizona in

611
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 5: the top of the seventh Walker Bueller on a relief

612
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 5: for the Phillies. Seattle is alone and first in the

613
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 5: AL westa game over Houston after winning four nothing against

614
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 5: the Stros Ems hit four solo homers. Houston had only

615
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 5: three hits in the game. Winning pitcher Brian Woo fifteen

616
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 5: and seven for Seattle. He had five scoreless innings seven strikeouts,

617
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 5: but left with what was called pectoral tightness. Cleveland has

618
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 5: won again. That's eight victories in a row. After a

619
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 5: six to two win at Minnesota. Cleveland's still a game

620
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 5: and a half out of the last AL wild card

621
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 5: behind Boston, which won eleven to seven at Tampa Bay.

622
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 5: But look how close the AL Central standings are now.

623
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 5: The Tigers lead, which week and a half ago, is

624

Speaker 5: half games over the Guardians. Detroit was beaten at home

626
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,600

00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,640

Speaker 1: it's not a big it's it's not as much of

660
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: a it's not as big of a of a benefit

661
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,040

Speaker 1: be best three out of five next year in the

666
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: first round of the POH no guarantee, There's no question

667
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:05,959

Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium start for Clayton Kershaw, maybe his last appearance

Speaker 1: Coming up. He never comes back even for old timers. Damn,

684
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm finished and ain't coming back, but just really quick

685
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: before we get to our upset special picks. You know. Uh,

686
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: Steve de Saga brought us a story. Look, big upset

687
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: in WNBA playoffs. The Phoenix Mercury send the New York

688
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: Liberty home, and now two of the higher seeded teams

689
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: going home in the first round in the best of

690
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: three series. And I told you, I guarantee you two

691
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: things are gonna happen next year because teams are really

692
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: upset about this. You finish with a better record during

693
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: the regular season, and you should get spoils, right, which

694
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: is home court advantage. But it's a three game series, right,

695
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: And not only that, you have teams traveling crazily across

696
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: the country because it's one through eight, Right, New York

697
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: had to go to Phoenix and three games. New York

698
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: goes to Phoenix and then back to La beat. Two

699
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: things are gonna happen next year because teams are upset.

700
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: All the series are gonna be three out of five,

701
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: which you can do because there's enough out there for

702
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: three out of five. And they'll find some way to

703
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: realign the playoffs more geographically, because it's just stupid to

704
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: have New York play Phoenix in the front. This is

705
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: like going back to the NHL playoffs in the nineteen

706
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, where it was team one played Team sixteen,

707
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: like the Islanders would have to play the Kings in

708
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: the first round ago, Like that was this ridiculous way

709
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: to do it. Here's another NBA doing this in twenty

710
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: twenty five. So I give you those two Big Bowl

711
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 1: predictions for next season.

712
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 3: Well, the other gets fixed as you expand and you

713
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 3: have more teams and then you eventually separate into conferences

714
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 3: you know, a little a little differently, with a little

715
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 3: realignment and whatever. We'll we'll see that, because what do

716
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 3: you got to the six versus seven in terms of

717
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 3: how it's currently set up. We've got more teams coming on,

718
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: and as the cash cow has proven, you'll get to

719
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 3: a more reasonable schedule and set up to where we

720
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 3: eliminate this. But I get your point, but certainly more

721
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 3: games will be there. I mean, it's cash cow. So

722
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: folks want to be salty. You can be salty, but

723
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: but you know you play to win the games.

724
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: Hello, you play now? Speaking of right, you still have

725
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: home court, finish the job. Now, speaking of playing to

726
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: win the games, yes, you play to win the games

727
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: unless you're playing to cover the number. Well. Time now,

728
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: Mike and I to give you our upset special picks

729
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: this week in the NFL. I'm gonna give you two

730
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: teams from the same city getting the same number of points. Okay, first, Okay,

731
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the Jets getting seven over the Bucks. Okay,

732
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: the Bucks are banged up. A Buka may Or may

733
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: not play. He's dinged up. You know Mayfield was dinged

734
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: up this week. All of a sudden, this high powered

735
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay offense might not be operating at peak efficiency

736
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday. They're coming off a big Monday Night win.

737
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,479
Speaker 1: This is a gut check game for the Jets, playing

738
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: their first game away from home, which I think is

739
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,479
Speaker 1: a good thing for them. They know that a big

740
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: effort in this one. Aaron Glenn, You're gonna start to

741
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: see his influence on the team this game. I think

742
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: they come out big early and they stay in this one,

743
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: and it takes a late field goal by Tampa Bay

744
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: and Baker Mayfield to pull this one out. Again, the

745
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: Jets are going to finish with heartache. But it'll take

746
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: a late field goal by Tampa to win this game.

747
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: And the Jets cover the seven. Give me the Jets

748
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: getting seven against Tampa.

749
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you take some solace in the fact that your

750
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 3: team is considered at least a half point better than

751
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: when the line opened. How about that somewhere between It

752
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 3: was at seven and a half. Now you're either looking

753
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 3: at six and a half or seven. I'm gonna go

754
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 3: with a little bit of a price shot on the road,

755
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 3: the Las Vegas Raiders going up against the Washington Commanders

756
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: with Marcus Mariota, Mariota and company given three forty fours

757
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,720
Speaker 3: to total. I'm encouraged by Chip Kelly talking about load

758
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 3: management and all of that fun stuff with Ashton genty,

759
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 3: which means he's touching the ball forty.

760
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,959
Speaker 1: Five times this Yeah, yeah, absolutely hundred percent.

761
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: As soon as he starts talking like that and like,

762
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 3: I release the cracking, it's unfortunate. I've already done the

763
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 3: fantasy takes. I'm like, this is not a great matchup.

764
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 3: We're not seeing it. He's been bad in pass bro,

765
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter this time. It's just tucking into his

766
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 3: gut and let him go and keep Gino from throwing

767
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 3: the ball on fourth down like.

768
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 1: A dope on a bounce. The other upset special getting

769
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: seven points. Give me the Giants getting seven over the Chiefs.

770
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: They'll hang around. The Giants are good at that, right,

771
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: you saw them last week. Maybe they hit on a

772
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: little bit of something something. The Chiefs aren't great, and

773
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: number one, we have seen the one thing I've seen.

774
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: No matter how good Chiefs teams are the last few years,

775
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: they are good at keeping lesser teams in games. Right,

776
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a game where Mahomes does it all

777
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: by himself and he scrambles for big yards, which is

778
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: gonna frustrate the hell out of the Giants. It's gonna

779
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: take a late score by Kansas City. They will escape,

780
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: whether it's a defensive stand or a field goal at

781
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: the end, or they they're they're killing the clock at

782
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: the end. But it's gonna be a one possession game.

783
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City outlast the Giants for their first win. But

784
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: seven points is a lot. I like the Giants. I

785
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: like Malik Neighbors to have another big game. Give me

786
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: the Giants getting seven.

787
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I dig the cut of your jim and it'll

788
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 3: be the legs of Mahomes to set up that winning

789
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 3: field goal. Ay, I got a chaos I'm gonna go

790
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: a little bit deeper. Let's go, and you've got the

791
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 3: higher points spread, no question, But just in terms of

792
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 3: perception versus reality, I'm gonna take Jake Browning and company

793
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: to go on the road, getting a field goal at

794
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 3: Minnesota and Carson Wentz forty one is your total? Minnesota

795
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 3: banged up right now and waiting to see exactly how

796
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 3: much you're gonna get out of that passing game. Hendrickson

797
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 3: should be able to get home. Some injuries on that

798
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 3: Minnesota front, and we'll see the Bengals continue to fire

799
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 3: the ball down field. So I'm gonna take the high

800
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 3: powered offense to get the job done.

801
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: Look at Jake down going, Browning going Browning proud.

802
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: Nick, I love all the extra quarterbacks getting into the mix.

803
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: Let's just do this early. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean

804
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: it could have been. It was supposed to be. Hey,

805
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: we got Joe Burrow and JJ McCart No, no, no, no,

806
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: we don't. We don't have that anymore. We don't have

807
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: that anymore. It's a good thing. That's a ten am

808
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: Pacific game. No, no, that game has been put on

809
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: NBA TV. It's no longer. Yeah, they're not gonna be

810
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an NBA TV now. Yeah, yeah, sorry

811
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: about It's like a Bucks playoff game. Yeah, hi, honest

812
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: exit out about of Fresca, Exit Swollen Dome. Coming up next,

813
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: we get back into the biggest story of the night,

814
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: Jason and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Radio,

815

Speaker 1: Let's go. We'll have more on Giants Dodgers coming up,

817
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: and a bit the final start of Clayton Kershaw's career

818
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium. Probably maybe, maybe, but kind of. We

819
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: are less than twelve hours away from another big slate

820
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: of college football. The Big Nude Kickoff is eleven and

821
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: a half hours away. Nobody to talk to then, longtime

Speaker 1: all the picks, all the prognostications, all the analysis. He's

825
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Pete feu Tech. It is Pete feutech.

826
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: What's happening, man? How are you?

827
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 6: I'm doing all right? You know, it's getting fun. Tonight

828
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 6: was kind of fun. Some interesting you know games happening

829
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 6: and yeah, it's been a weird year so far, and

830
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 6: it's gonna get weirder tomorrow.

831
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I kind of I kind of like

832
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: the weirdness. I mainly I like the fact that some

833
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: teams that have been it's always better when the when

834
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: the heritage programs are better in college football, and clearly

835
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: we're seeing Hey maybe Florida State, Miami USC all these hits.

836
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: Hey maybe they're all for real, which is which would

837
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, be a big balance out for the fact

838
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: that Arch Manning is no good.

839
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of crazy. Well, the part of the

840
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 6: problem is nobody's that good. I mean, like, you know,

841
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 6: it's you know, Ohio State's Ohio State, but I think

842
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 6: really number one, well only because they beat a Texas

843
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 6: team which obviously has issues. You know, Penn State, we

844
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 6: still don't quite know. You know, Florida State has the

845
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 6: one game Miami looking strong, but there doesn't appear to

846
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 6: be that one killer team left yet. Like like again,

847
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 6: last year, you knew Ohio State just was it. Uh,

848
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 6: we don't have that yet. So it's gonna kind of

849
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 6: play itself out obviously, But there's a lot of weird

850
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 6: twists and turns along the way, you know, Georgia looks

851
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 6: vulnerable against Tennessee. And you know, but the real fun

852
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 6: part about this year is more than last year we have.

853
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 6: It's really about the schedule because man, are some teams

854
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 6: getting a big break and then there's the Oklahomas of

855
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 6: the world that just get a murderer's row. So you

856
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 6: look ahead of some of these slates. And that's why

857
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 6: late last weekend when Cal is able to slip by Minnesota,

858
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 6: oh who cares, you know, ended at three o'clock in

859
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 6: the morning on East Coast time. Well, you look at

860
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 6: the rest of the CAL schedule. They're gonna be favored

861
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 6: in just about every game except maybe Louisville if they

862
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 6: can get by Boston COLLEGEWN the road next week. And

863
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, you've got Cal, who might be

864
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 6: like SMU this year and be like eleven and one

865
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 6: or ten and two. You look at, you know, just

866
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 6: teams across the book. Iowa State, even though you know

867
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 6: they're you know, play for the Big twelve championship games,

868
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 6: their schedule all of a sudden looks really easy because

869
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 6: teams like Oklahoma State are now free space games. Teams

870
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 6: like UCLA game is a free space game. So all

871
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 6: of a sudden, these schedules are starting to open up

872
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 6: a little bit more than we thought they were.

873
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 3: All right, d because you know, selfishly, we watched the

874
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 3: Big Ten actual scoring Iowa and Rutgers today. But Illinois

875
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 3: and Indiana getting together, Illinois number nine with Altmeyer under center,

876
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 3: first time they played together, ranked since nineteen fifty.

877
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's this is not your typical, you know, game

878
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 6: for these two, at least for you know, Indiana. I mean,

879
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 6: Illinois used to be really good back in the day.

880
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 6: But I don't get the national attitudes towards this game.

881
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 6: Because Indiana is favored by a touchdown here, Milloy is better.

882
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 6: And I'm not you know, I know these teams inside

883
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 6: and out. I'm kind of not seeing why other than

884
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 6: that it looks like a bunch of Indiana people. It's

885
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 6: you know, we call it the Michigan bump. When all

886
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 6: you Michigan types wake up in the morning, you're like, oh,

887
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 6: I need something else to you know, make me more

888
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 6: happy about Michigan. They all bet on Saturday mornings and

889
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 6: crank up the line. I think that might be what's

890
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 6: happening with Indiana here. But you know, it's a good

891
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 6: Indiana team. I don't think it's quite as strong as

892
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 6: last year. This is a strong, strong Illinois squad. It's

893
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 6: got all the experience, it's got the coaching, it's it's

894
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 6: a fascinating game where I will be shocked if this

895
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 6: is not close until the end. But this is one

896
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 6: of those games where you know they're not The winner

897
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 6: of This is not Ohio State or Penn State or Oregon.

898
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 6: It's not in that category. But you look at the

899
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 6: schedule ahead for these two and you know the winner

900
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 6: of this it might be ten and two and be

901
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 6: right in the next of the college football playoffs.

902
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: All right, Pete, big game of the day, Top twenty

903
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: five teams. You got unbeaten Auburn, undefeated Oklahoma, who's feeling great.

904
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: Matier is potentially the Heisman Trophy favorite right now. How

905
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: do you see this one? Yeah?

906
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 6: The only reason Matiers the Heisman Trophy favorite?

907
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 1: Fair.

908
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 6: I mean he just you guys saw him against Michigan.

909
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 6: I mean he's okay, is he the guy? Is he

910
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 6: that good?

911
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 3: So far?

912
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 6: He's gonna get his chances because you know, you look

913
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 6: at those games Oklahoma has left. This is the easy one.

914
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 6: This is the layup game for the Sooners with the

915
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 6: rest of persuade that they've got left, because man, is

916
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 6: it brutal. Yeah, I don't think that Jackson Arnold's gonna

917
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 6: be able to get it done. I mean, I'm not

918
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 6: buying into Auburn quite yet. It's been a while since

919
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 6: the Hugh Freeze team has been anything special, so I

920
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 6: don't think Auburn's going to have anything to pull this off.

921
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 6: So Oklahoma should win. But Tire, I think it's gonna

922
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 6: be fine again, like you said, because there's no one

923
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 6: out there right now, because nobody's really seen Thomas Casiano

924
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 6: so yet, and people haven't gotten on the train yet

925
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 6: with Carson Beck. Yes, the tier is gonna get hyped up,

926
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 6: but then reality's gonna hit kind of hard. I think

927
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 6: for Oklahoma pretty soon with what's coming next to that schedule.

928
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 3: Pete, as we look at the slate, I mean, one

929
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 3: of the games that stands out, Jason, I will yell

930
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 3: about it a little bit later on. But USC back

931
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 3: into the top twenty five heavy favorites at home against

932
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 3: Michigan State.

933
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: Are you buying in USC a little?

934
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 6: I'm not buying Michigan State. I just you know, I

935
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 6: was actually at the game, Like I told you last week,

936
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 6: I was up there. I think that team's not very good.

937
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 6: It's they don't have the lines. USC has the killer

938
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 6: pass rush. They're a little banged up. Michigan State is

939
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 6: gonna get some of those key pieces back, like they're

940
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 6: star receiver Nick Marsh. But I'm going to buy in

941
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 6: just for tomorrow that this really super late game. I mean,

942
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 6: because again, think about it. You're starting this game at

943
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 6: eleven o'clock in Michigan State time, you know, so it's

944
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 6: gonna end late for them. I think USC pulls away

945
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 6: and people start to start to get in their heads.

946
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, maybe USC's pretty good. But yeah, the offense

947
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 6: is starting to click like it's supposed to, and at

948
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 6: the very least, the defense is attacking. It's not a

949
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 6: killer defense, but it's good enough to be a real

950
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 6: bother in the Michigan State backfield.

951
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: Pfutech College Footballnews dot Com with us Jason Smith Mike

952
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: Carbon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Okay, so

953
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: tomorrow a game that we should see Notre Dame get

954
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: into the win column. I'll be favored by twenty five

955
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: against Perdue, but I'll tell you, Pete. I know their

956
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: schedule is easy the rest of the way, but can

957
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: you really start zero to two and make the playoff

958
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: Like it's one thing to say, hey, they can run

959
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,959
Speaker 1: the table because the schedule is easy, it's another quiet

960
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 1: thing to do that over ten plus weeks in a row.

961
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, they could really, It could just as easily be

962
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 6: two and er right now, you know there but for

963
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 6: a you know, a misspandles on a you know, an

964
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 6: extra point and uh, you know missed fourth down stop.

965
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 6: They beat Texas A and m they were right there

966
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 6: laid against Miami. And the thing to remember about nor

967
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 6: name going back to the beginning of last year, those

968
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 6: are two of the three best quarterbacks they faced because

969
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 6: Tyler Shuk was got talent wise, the best quarterback they

970
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 6: faced last year. They have to feel tains King at

971
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 6: Georgia Tech. Uh, Marcel Reid and Carson Beck. Those are

972
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 6: real quarterbacks that they had to face. There's probably better

973
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 6: college wise and Drew Aller and definitely Will Howard. So

974
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 6: and that's that those guys are good and they've got

975
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 6: they placed two great offensive lines. Miami and Texas A

976
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 6: and M have first rounders on the offensive line. Miami

977
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 6: might have two top ten picks on the offensive front

978
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 6: and so, and they were right there. They were really close.

979
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 6: I mean they lost close enough to where being oh

980
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 6: two really shouldn't matter. But now you've got to come

981
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 6: out just thunder dunk on everyone for the rest of

982
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 6: the way. I want to see what this team really

983
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 6: can start to do because I had a kind of

984
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 6: an inks thought this all off season. They were looking

985
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 6: a little bit too you know, media savvy, they're there,

986
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 6: move it out there a little bit too much. I

987
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 6: have a friend of mine who you know, called him

988
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 6: Marcus Ditka because you know, after the figure, he took

989
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 6: every single possible media opportunity to get out there and

990
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 6: every single sort of yeah, the way to get is,

991
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 6: you know, get to promote the program. But now now

992
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 6: you'll see him buckle down. I think you're gonna see

993
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 6: the real Notre Dame starting tomorrow.

994
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: All right.

995
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 3: I love the headline for the article you wrote about

996
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 3: this game. Forty seven is the total North Carolina at

997
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 3: Central Florida getting seven the battle of the coaches front

998
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 3: and center. But can North Carolina straight string together another

999
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 3: win and maybe get us back into the consciousness beyond

1000
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 3: Dancing with the Stars, quit spabbles, and this.

1001
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 6: Is another team where if you look at the North

1002
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 6: Carolina schedule, if they they can just get their stuff

1003
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 6: together already, they've got a very very favorable schedule the

1004
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 6: rest of the way. And UCF I'm not there yet.

1005
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 6: They had a easy first couple of games. But look,

1006
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 6: you know, Scott Frost, it's Bill Belichick. These are two

1007
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 6: accomplished head coaches. But you know, look they're Bill Belichick's

1008
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 6: not here if they didn't have three losing seasons in

1009
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 6: his last four years of New England and Scott Frost

1010
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 6: isn't here if it wasn't such a miserable failure at Nebraska.

1011
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 6: So you know, let's see what these guys can do

1012
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 6: at whatever's gonna be focused on. I don't think either

1013
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 6: of these two do anything in their respective conference races,

1014
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 6: but we'll see how who's who's there faster. And for

1015
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 6: North Carolina just there. They should be better than this.

1016
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 6: You see, after the complete rebuild, they lost so much,

1017
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 6: so Scott Frost gets the free pass for this year,

1018
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 6: but I get Belichick brought in sixty new players, but

1019
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 6: they should be way better than they've been so far,

1020
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 6: especially defensively.

1021
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: All right, Pete, you know you mentioned really briefly a

1022
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: few moments ago, but I see, you know what if

1023
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: I had to look, if you wanted to make the

1024
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: conversation about who the Heisman front runner should be right now,

1025
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: it's not just about stats, but it's about impact with

1026
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: the program. And you look at Carson Beck and Miami

1027
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns so far, they're three and oh, they're ranked

1028
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: fourth in the country. To come in after the number

1029
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: one overall pick in the draft and maybe to make

1030
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 1: your team even better than they were a year ago.

1031
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: Like that's something from Miami. Like of all these teams, like,

1032
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: that's the team I'm buying that is back the most

1033
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: out of the ones we talked about.

1034
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 6: And it's not next week. I think it's two weeks

1035
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 6: from now when we get Miami versus Florida State because

1036
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 6: all of a suden like everyone forgot Florida State, which

1037
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 6: I'm not a stals of percent buying into yet. But

1038
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 6: they handled Alabama without any sort of an issue. And

1039
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 6: that's because Thomas Cassianos, who you know, was kind of

1040
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 6: running his mouth all off season all we got and

1041
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 6: he was right he would be cashed that check. He

1042
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 6: was great against Alabama, and so if he can blow

1043
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 6: up against Miami and they get that win, or if

1044
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 6: Carson beckets excellent and they get to win over that

1045
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,280
Speaker 6: Florida State team to beat Alabama, then all of a sudden,

1046
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 6: there's your Heisman race starting to kick in. But there

1047
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 6: there really isn't a front runner out there. They're just again,

1048
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 6: if Matier actually could light this up. Because again, if

1049
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 6: Oklahoma is great and he's wonderful against all these great

1050
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 6: teams as soon as I have to play against, then

1051
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 6: the Heisman race is his. I just don't really see

1052
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 6: it quite yet. So the our Heisman front runner has

1053
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 6: yet to really emerge.

1054
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: You can fall on Twitter at Pete few Tech. That

Speaker 1: You just you just gotta say it's peanut, butter and jelly.

1063

Speaker 1: That's all you got to worry about peanut, butter and jelly.

1064
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

1065
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 3: See now, you prompted the other thing, right, But what

1066
